“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena. . .” –Theodore Roosevelt
“Courage is the resistance of fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.” – Mark Twain
“Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.” – Atticus Finch
“Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the “ape” in apricot? What have they got that I ain’t got?. . . . Courage!” – Cowardly Lion
